M2A4 Bradley Fighting Vehicle in the Desert

The M2A4 Bradley Fighting Vehicle is and armored personnel carrier and fighting armored vehicle that was developed in the USA.  It is used by the US Army.  It is a very maneuverable armored or I should say lightly armored vehicle.  It has a 25 mm Bushmaster chain gun and 2 TOW anti tank missiles. 

The US Army recently inked a contract for 700 more updated Bradleys.  Currently, the US Army has 3700 active duty Bradley Fighting Vehicles and another 2800 in storage if needed.  The vehicle weighs 27.6 tons and has a crew of three soldiers,  It can also carry up to six fully equipped infantry soldiers...hence it IS an armored personnel carrier.  I have even heard it called the Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicle.  That was what a sergeant in the US Arny referred to it as. 

I drew this vehicle rather recently but decided to draw it in the Southern Utah Desert this time.  I am actually from South Central Utah and I love the red rock desert.  The dark stains on the rock are magnesium stains.  If you look for them you can find two dust devils spinning around in the distance.  Also, if you want more information on the Bradley Fighting Vehicle, look up my post from September 28th of 2024 (this year)  It is funny but I think the first drawing is a little to tall and the second is possibly a little too short.  Neither is perfect but a US Army sergeant could identify the vehicle based on my drawings so I guess they are good enough,  The first drawing is re-posted below but like I said, to read the more detailed data on the Bradley just scroll down to the bottom of the pages that have opened up on my blog.  Then click on the arrow or "older posts" sign and you can keep doing this until you find the first drawing along with its more detailed information found in the first Bradley Fighting Vehicle post.

I also want to add that each drawing is done from a different picture and there have been various upgrades and types of Bradley Fighting Vehicles over the years so the two drawings are different and that is totally acceptable.  

NOTE:  To find the printable pages of these drawings just click on the bottom that says "Vehicles & Military Vehicles.  Both drawings are near or at the bottom of the list of drawings if you are accessing this in November of 2024.
